Is it illegal to smoke under 18?

if you smoke your friends cigarettes who is 18 but you are under 18 but you didnt buy them,they did.is it illegal for you to smoke them??

Scooter

Yes, much the same way it is illegal for you to consume alcohol under the age of 21.

FozzieBear

Yes. And your friend can be in trouble for giving them to you.

It's the same as alcohol. Just because you know someone over 21 doesn't mean that you can drink.

It depends on where you live. If you live in a state that the legal smoking age is 18...then yes, you and the 18 year old can have charges filed against them.

Gary

I would suggest you buy them online to avoid taxes and the threat of ridiculous moral laws that prevent it.

reptilebabe

Your friend can get in trouble for buying them and allowing you to smoke them. I'm not sure what state you are in, but here in New Mexico you can legally smoke cigarettes at age 16, just can't buy them until you are 18.
